Policy Changes
With the 2020 change in retailers’ policies relating to barcode verification (see changes below), it is now possible for vendors to perform this process themselves or choose another provider other than GS1 Australia. This could save vendors significant time, cost and effort. This could also help get your products to shelf faster and simplify your internal product launch processes.
The process of barcode verification to the necessary retailer standard takes 5-10mins at most and is not complex. In every other market in the world it is perfectly common for vendors to do this themselves or for a variety of service providers to offer this service.
January 2020: Interim Reports No Longer Required
Confirmation has been received from the three major retailers that Interim Verification reports are not mandatory, though may be requested by Woolworths under certain circumstances. Interim reports provide minimal useful information, and do not prove a product will scan in the supply chain. In our opinion and the industry experts we have discussed this with, they are largely pointless, and just add unnecessary cost and administration for vendors.
